Christmas Tree 4725 Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 So, tried to control myself all week but have today sadly woken up like a small child two days before Christmas. From simply hoping to see a team that at least tries on Saturday, I have now now fell down the rabbit hole of a Keeganesque performance, wrapped in a win that starts a superb run of results. Im even imagining all sorts of scenarios such as proper pressing of the ball, Almiron and Maxi laying on chance after chance for Wilson and Joe to convert like plucking ripe apples off a tree. I feel I am just hours away from placing lots of silly scorecast bets, digging out a Newcastle shirt to wear at the match, only to rip it off when the first goal goes in and dancing in naked abandon for the match of the day cameras.

Alan Doh'liver 219 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Must admit I'm really looking forward to how we line up in our first game under Howe. I can't see us sitting back like we've done for the past 5 years, but at the same time I don't think we are going to be transformed by two weeks of training properly. Will be fascinating to see which players adapt quicker, although I can already imagine it will be the likes of Ritchie and Wilson, but also maybe Hayden and Lewis if and when he gets a run in the team.

The apathy is going to take some shaking off by the looks of it Yeh it’s 14 years of apathy I suppose. I’ve had the odd feeling of joy in the last few weeks and I’m happy with Howe but I’m not sure I’ll ever recapture the connection I had with the club pre-Ashley. Also we’ve got the old human rights issues lurking in the shadows like a theocratic mad man with a bonesaw and a ticket for the directors box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to prove himself before he ousts Shane. (Actually, I sort of imagine that’s what you looked like as a trainee accountant). Eddie not Shane.

Gemmill 44805 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 First three months as a trainee accountant, I was doing away jobs. Full English 4 days a week plus restaurant meals and drink on the night time. I put about two stone on in that three months that I've never fully lost since. So no, that didn't look like me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1207 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'm getting all misty eyed and nostalgic about this feeling of a new era. I'll go with 2-1 as I can't see us keeping a clean sheet. Blind hope more than owt else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
